    Abstract A 49-year-old man with a history of hypertension and no known drug allergies was admitted with a 4-day history of fever, general malaise, sore throat and diarrhoea. Eleven days ago, he had returned from a 2-week adventure holiday to South Africa. On admission, he was noted to have a creatinine 392 µmol/L, alanine aminotransferase 133 IU/L, alkaline phosphatase 211 IU/L and platelets 151×10(9)/L. A differential diagnosis of suspected leptospirosis or bacterial sepsis was made and he was started on ceftriaxone. Two hours later he became hypotensive, tachypnoeic with severe myalgia and a temperature of 41°C, type I respiratory failure and metabolic acidosis. There was no stridor, facial swelling or rash. A diagnosis of Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction was made. A second dose of ceftriaxone was given without any reaction. The patient thereafter completed 7 days of doxycycline. PCR confirmed leptospirosis and subsequent leptospirosis IgM was positive. He improved clinically with treatment and was discharged after 10 days of admission.

    Abstract Objectives: The long-term outcomes of patients following Gram-negative bacteraemia (GNB) are poorly understood. Here we describe a cohort of patients with GNB over a 2-year period and determine factors associated with late mortality (death between Days 31 and 365 after detection of bacteraemia).
    Methods: This was a single-centre, retrospective, observational cohort study of 789 patients with confirmed Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp. or Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteraemia with a follow-up of 1 year. Multivariable survival analysis was used to determine risk factors for late mortality in patients who survived the initial 30-day period of infection.
    Results: Overall, 1-year all-cause mortality was 36.2%, with 18.1% of patients dying within 30 days and 18.1% of patients suffering late mortality. An adverse antimicrobial resistance profile [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.095 per any additional antimicrobial category, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.018-1.178; P = 0.014] and infection with P. aeruginosa (HR = 2.08, 95% CI 1.11-3.88; P = 0.022) were independent predictors of late mortality. Other significant factors included Charlson comorbidity index and length of hospitalisation after the index blood culture.
    Conclusion: Patients with GNB have a poor long-term prognosis. Risk factors for greater mortality at 1 year include co-morbidity, length of hospitalisation, and infecting organism and its resistance profile.

    Abstract Objectives: There is limited evidence that empirical antimicrobials affect patient-oriented outcomes in Gram-negative bacteraemia. We aimed to establish the impact of effective antibiotics at four consecutive timepoints on 30 day all-cause mortality and length of stay in hospital.
    Methods: We performed a multivariable survival analysis on 789 patients with Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteraemias. Antibiotic choices at the time of the blood culture (BC), the time of medical clerking and 24 and 48 h post-BC were reviewed.
    Results: Patients that received ineffective empirical antibiotics at the time of the BC had higher risk of mortality before 30 days (HR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.19-2.38, P = 0.004). Mortality was higher if an ineffective antimicrobial was continued by the clerking doctor (HR = 2.73, 95% CI = 1.58-4.73, P < 0.001) or at 24 h from the BC (HR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.05-3.20, P = 0.033) when compared with patients who received effective therapy throughout. Hospital-onset infections, 'high inoculum' infections and elevated C-reactive protein, lactate and Charlson comorbidity index were independent predictors of mortality. Effective initial antibiotics did not statistically significantly reduce length of stay in hospital (-2.98 days, 95% CI = -6.08-0.11, P = 0.058). The primary reasons for incorrect treatment were in vitro antimicrobial resistance (48.6%), initial misdiagnosis of infection source (22.7%) and non-adherence to hospital guidelines (15.7%).
    Conclusions: Consecutive prescribing decisions affect mortality from Gram-negative bacteraemia.

    Abstract We would like to report the clinical characteristics of 3 people living with HIV (PLWH) in the United Kingdom within the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Our institution serves a population of 500,000 with a prevalence of HIV at 0.34%. At of the time of writing, 5th June 2020, only 3 PLWH tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on nasopharyngeal swab specimen using Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) have required admission to hospital.
